just got my first Subaru what should I do first?

I just got a 2008 subaru impreza. 70.000 miles. I want to make it faster looking into chips seemed to be the best and easiest solution. I honestly don't know much about cars and don't really know how to educate myself either.I would love some opinions and experiences to feed from.

Thanks

Go to your local bookstore or online and buy a "Chilton's" repair manual for the make, model and year of the auto. Subaru's are great vehicles and we are on our 7th (each with 200K before we sold or traded in). but they are expensive when it comes time to do scheduled maintenance. There are many online offers for "speed and body parts" so have fun but check the background of anyone you purchase from first.

Your subaru is no less tunable than any other N/A (normally aspirated)
car. A good place to start would be a simple intake/exhaust combo if
you are looking for a slight HP and torque increase. All in all the best
advice I can give you is to start small and see if it's a path you are
willing to follow. Before the WRc came to U.S there were plenty of
mods for this engine, just research the 99-00 Impreza 2.5 RS. I have
met plenty of people eho have made those cars very fast.
